Our lame duck B.C. premier is once again sleeping at the wheel.
He would like to see that future new ferries be built in B.C. Washington state has a government law that all new ferries must be built in Washington state.
The last ferry built in Washington state cost $175 million. The last three B.C. ferries built overseas cost $200 million.
Chuck Ko of Allied Shipbuilders in North Vancouver said his company cannot compete with overseas shipyards, cost-wise. How come John Horgan does not talk to these B.C. shipbuilding companies to get the facts and reality before jumping the gun on giving his opinion?
Horgan wants ferries built in B.C., yet he goes to purchase his new car and bought a Toyota Prius. Why not buy a Ford, General Motors, or Chrysler product? A man of double standards.
